5044. Narrated Ibn 'Abbās رضي الله عنهما regarding His (Allāh's) Statement: "Move not your tongue concerning (the Qur'an, O Muḥammad ﷺ) to make haste therewith." (V.75:16) And whenever Jibrīl (Gabriel) descended to Allāh's Messenger ﷺ with the Divine Revelation, Allāh's Messenger ﷺ used to move his tongue and lips, and that used to be hard for him, and one could easily recognise that he was being inspired Divinely. So Allāh revealed the Verse which occurs in the Sūrah starting with: "I swear by the Day of Resurrection." (V.75:1) i.e., "Move not your tongue concerning (the Qur'an, O Muḥammad ﷺ) to make haste therewith. It is for Us to collect it and to give you (O Muḥammad ﷺ) the ability to recite it (the Qur'an)." (V.75:16,17) which means: It is for Us to collect it (in your mind) and give you the ability to recite it by heart. "And when We have recited it to you [(O Muḥammad ﷺ) through Jibrīl (Gabriel)], then follow you its (the Qur'an's) recital." (V.75:18) means: When We reveal it (the Qur'an) to you, listen to it, for then: "It is for Us (Allāh) to make it clear to you" (V.75:19) i.e., it is up to Us to explain it through your tongue. So, when Jibrīl came to him, Allāh's Messenger ﷺ would listen to him attentively, and as soon as Jibrīl left, he would recite the Revelations, as Allāh had promised him.
